In our recent blog series we‚Äôve seen how supermarkets¬†often sell the same or near-identical items at different prices in different sections of the same store, including baby aisle bargains and ‘world foods’ savings. Now we’ve uncovered hidden bargains on¬†supermarkets’ fresh counters… We delved into the fresh meat, fish and cheese counters of four supermarkets – Tesco, Sainsbury’s,…

We’ve blagged¬†a deal to get you a ¬£5¬†off-peak coach return ticket from London to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam for mid-week travel¬†until Tue 19 Dec. It‚Äôs all about getting the discount card Supercard for a three-week trial that we‚Äôve blagged for ¬£5. You‚Äôd usually get the ¬£5 trial for two weeks and/or pay ¬£19.95/mth for normal membership. One…

We‚Äôve had Amazon tricks before, but this is the most ‘free’ money you‚Äôve been able to get… because it’s¬†¬£13 via two separate deals – one for ¬£6 and one for ¬£7. They‚Äôre pretty easy to get, but you need to be careful to ensure you get both. Who can do this? Any existing Amazon customers. Though if…

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
